Chapter 8:

"I can't believe this!" Sakura shouted as she threw a pillow against the wall. They were in Ino's room, Fergie music was playing as they talked.

"Settle down Sakura, as long as Sasuke doesn't show any interest in her it's not a big deal is it?" Ino asked picking up the pillow and putting it down.

"I know but it still irritates me!" Sakura said. "She should keep her hands off taken guys!" She shouted again.

"Cool it Sakura." Ino said. "The fact that you're worried shows that you think Karin can win." Ino said looking smart.

"Shikamaru said that didn't he?" Sakura asked not believing that Ino could say something that smart.

"Yeah I did. So what?" Ino said slightly more irritated.

"I just couldn't see you saying something so wise that's all." Sakura said. "Oh yeah!" She said remembering something. "They're going to pick the Akatsuki soon! I think you've been nominated!" Sakura said. "Actually, I'm pretty sure that everyone in our group were nominated." Sakura said.

"Really? What does the Akatsuki do anyway?" Ino asked.

"They set up dances, deal with student problems and stuff I guess." Sakura said shrugging. (I've never been anything near a student council so sorry if this seems a little 'out there'!)

"Sounds like fun!" Ino said smiling. "The school's going to vote right?" Ino asked.

"Yeah, but a teacher reccomendation will help you get in." Sakura said thinking about wether she could get one from Kakashi-sensei or not.

'Lee might get the reccomendation but he probably won't get enough votes...' Sakura thought. 'Sasuke shouldn't have a hard time.'

"Namine-san!" Lee shouted as he ran toward a girl with black shoulder-length hair. (Im trying my best to base Namine on Orignalatorian' I'll edit it any time if needed originalatorian!)

"Hi Lee!" Namine said as she waved. (When I picked her name, i wasn't aware it was from Kingdom Hearts so it isn't based on that character.)

"What do you want to do?" Lee asked.

"Anything's fine with me." Namine said as she took Lee's hand.

"!" Lee blushed as he followed Namine.

"There's not much around here is there?" Namine asked looking around. She had enrolled in this school recently and was only going for the 3rd year.

"I guess so." Lee said looking around. Lee's stomach grumbled. "Oh...excuse me!" Lee said blushing as he apologized.

Namine laughed. "How about we eat out?" She asked.

"That would be nice." Lee replied as they started looking around for a resteraunt.

"We have a message from Suigetsu." Sakon said opening his cellphone.

"Really?" Ukon asked looking over his shoulder. (Since the ninja world is sealed, they are seperate and can only fuse together when Orochimaru gives them power.)

"What does it say?" Tayuya asked.

"It says that they're doing fine." Sakon looked a little closer. "Also says that Karin wants the permission to kill 'Sakura'." He added.

"Why?" Tayuya asked.

"Doesn't say. Isn't she that pink-haired girl?" He asked.

"I think so." Tayuya said. "That whore, it's probably another guy." Tayuya said.

"She did try to makeout with me once..." Ukon said.

"You didn't tell me that." Sakon said to Ukon.

"Did you honestly think I would?" Ukon asked.

"You should've figured it out dumbass." Tayuya said. "She tries to makeout with everybody. I heard you're next on her list." Tayuya said.

"Oh really?" Sakon said. "I'm afraid I'll have to decline." Sakon said licking his green lips.

"Decline?" Tayuya asked.

"Sakon, stop flirting." Kidomaru ordered as he came with his cell phone in one hand. "Juugo says that they're going to have some 'fun' for a while or something. So, we're free for a month." Kidomaru said.

"What the fuck do you mean by flirting?" Tayuya asked.

'Uh-oh.' Ukon thought.

"As you know, I'm a master of games and Sakon's playing another 'game' with you. If you were too stupid to notice." Kidomaru said smirking while he sighed.

"Don't act like I'm stupid you son of a bitch!" Tayuya shouted and got ready to punch him.

"Stop." Sakon said grabbing Tayuya's hand. "This is no time to fight Tayuya." Sakon said. "And since we have some free time, why don't you go out with me?" He asked.

"...Fine." Tayuya said jerking her arm out of his grasp.

Kidomaru 'hyuuued' at them and Jirobo shut him up before Tayuya turned around. (If anyone remembers, when something 'icha-icha' is happening japanese people say 'hyuuuuu')

Sakon smiled a little. Ukon came over and whispered,

"What are you up to?"

"Something that is a little fun." He replied.

"The new Akatsuki members should be not only strong as a student, but strong as a ninja as well." Tsunade said.

"I agree Tusnade-sama." Shizune said uneasily. "Who do you suppose would be good?" Shizune asked.

"First, we need people from the well established families from 'Konoha'." Tsunade said. "Such as Uchiha (Sasuke), Hyuuga (Hinata, Neji), Inuzuka (Kiba), Nara (Shikamaru), Akimichi (Chouji), and the Yamanaka (Ino) clans."

"Yes." Shizune said.

"But, if we pick, someone might get suspicious, so we still have to have the people vote. But we'll pick from the top 50 or so, based on their ninja skills." Tsunade said. "Let Jiraya know please."

"Yes!" Shizune said, bowed and left the room.

Tsunade sighed. 'What to do now?' She thought to herself.

Sorry people, I totally had to put in some SakonxTayuya because I fell in love with that couple. swoons It's hard though...
